Hello willmo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted linux-firmware into trusty-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-
firmware/1.127.10 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

  These commits should have KEPT cxgb3/t3fw-7.12.0.bin, which is the
  current version, but removed cxgb3/t3fw-7.0.0.bin,
  cxgb3/t3fw-7.1.0.bin, and cxgb3/t3fw-7.4.0.bin, which are indeed
  obsolete.

  See here that 7.12 is the current version:

  Here's what one sees in dmesg:
